Not with steel shot loads I hope. A duck hunting pal inherited a Trap Grade 12 bore LONGRANGE-- 32" DT, AE-- the "whole 9 yards" of "Smithian workmanship-- I tried to tell him NOT to shoot steel shot 3" loads in it, but he went right ahead- not a smart move on his part- After he ruined the barrels and the stock split behind both lockplates, he went back to his Mossy-Burg 835 Ulti- and put what was left of a fine doublegun in the steel vault- where it rests yet today.
